South Indian

Film Writers' Association that Mithran has stolen his story and made 'Hero'.

Director and the president of South Indian Film Writers' Association K Bhagyaraj was quoted in the report as stating that the theft had happened and in his letter Bosco Prabhu had stated that his story from 2017 is similar to the plot of 'Hero'.
